Had a student wear a sweatshirt with that in bold lettering yesterday.

I've since been told by the school's lawyer that it is protected first amendment speech.

I said, "How about "Islam is Cancer"?"

Still protected speech I'm told.

WTF?

I give up.

We can't have nice things, like apparently welcoming classrooms of higher learning.

I'm so effing done with this country.

Liberals cannot stand that others have freedom of speech. Speech that they might not agree with. Many of them would be much happier with the government regulating EVERYTHING including speech. Of course THEY thing THEY will be the government and so THEY will be deciding what is acceptable and that which is banned or punished with fines or jail.

The students must respond to this trolling. This white dude (it's a white dude) is trolling every woman (and feminist men) on that campus, looking for a reaction that he can use to whinge about his oppression on AM radio.

There is a deliberate campaign to disguise provocations as free speech battles.

College Republicans are scum. Its up to every eligible female his age to tell him he'll never get laid. They can make it happen, too.

36. The first amendment means you will not be dragged out of your house by the government for your

speech. It does not say your employer can't fire you for said speech...and if we want free speech we have to tolerate speech we don't like as well..."I hate what you say but would die for your right to say it is my mantra for these situations".

I don't know which subject you teach, but maybe it's time for a lecture and class discussion on Feminist Ethics. You don't need to address him directly, but address the other students who also are being subjected to this. They certainly deserve that, and are probably as upset as you.

If it happened in my classroom, I'd report him to our intervention/student conduct team. I would make sure to state that his behavior is directly affecting the atmosphere of the classroom and causing other students to be anxious and fearful.

Right. "Anxious and fearful" due to a few words on a shirt. IF so those students DO NOT BELONG in college to begin with.

Jack*sses don't like it when they cannot enforce their world view on everyone else and punish everyone who doesn't comply.

Here's a thought. How about ignoring the t shirt and just doing your job?

What she and most of the rest of the libs don't get is that much of what they display on their tee-shirts is offensive to others. In short what the OP is saying is that it is Okay for her to offend others while being protected from those who may offend her.

Thereís no way in hell Iíll ever send my kids to public school. This DUmmy proves Iíve been right all along that they are indoctrination centers and thereís many more teachers like her that infest them. No way in hell will I subject my kid to a DUmmy teacher.
